Membrane structure

Membrane structures are spatial structures made out of tensioned membranes. The structural use of membranes can be divided into pneumatic structures, tensile membrane structures, and cable domes. In these three kinds of structure, membranes work together with cables, columns and other construction members to find a form.

Materials

The common membranes used in membrane structures include: • PVC coated polyester fabric • Translucent Polyethylene fabric • PVC coated glass fiber fabric • PTFE coated glass fiber fabric; foils like • ETFE foil • PVC foil. == Gallery ==

Conference

The International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) in Barcelona biannually holds the international conference Textile Composites and Inflatable Structures (Structural Membranes). The conference has been taking place in Barcelona, Stuttgart and Munich. The tenth edition of the conference will be organized in 2021 in Munich. == Literature ==
